S 1703 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits State contracts for technology with Chinese government-owned or affiliated companies.

S 1703 prohibits New Jersey state agencies from entering contracts for technology goods or services with companies owned, operated, or affiliated with the Government of China (including the Chinese Communist Party). It requires all bidders to certify they are not linked to the Chinese government, and imposes civil penalties of $250,000 or twice the contract value for false certifications. The law directly affects Chinese government-linked technology vendors seeking state contracts and state agencies managing procurement. Violations trigger contract termination and financial penalties, with the bill taking effect immediately upon enactment.
